This festival went beyond simply appreciating flowers; it also served as an opportunity to deliver messages of comfort and encouragement to the local community and residents who suffered damage from the heavy rains during the summer.

During the 30-day event, it rained for 14 days, including weekends, which led to a slight decrease in the total number of visitors compared to the previous year. However, the highest number of paid visitors in a single day increased by 9%, with a record 9,908 people attending the festival on October 8, marking the highest daily attendance since the event's inception. In addition, sales from agricultural products, beverages, and experience booths reached 640 million won, a 2% increase compared to last autumn.
